Oliver Herring @ The Performing Garage, New York

Artist Oliver Herring and his open-ended, interactive artwork TASK participated in the experimental event Ways of Showing Up by Epicenter NYC, The Clemente and Department of Transportation (DOT). The work TASK invites people to interact with one another and their environment. The continuous conception and interpretation of tasks is both chaotic and purpose driven, fostering a complex, ever shifting environment of people who connect with one another through what and who is around them.

This two-day event took place in the performing garage, centering the artistic process as a form of care for the self and others. Ways of Showing Up aims to offer new visions for the intersection of art, well-being, and community.
